This client is designed to access images from AJ Hurst's formidable database of train-related pictures. Images will be displayed on demand in your default browser. Owing to technical constraints, images will remain open in the browser until you manually close the tab. Images will be displayed for a base level of time (default 10 seconds), then for a further time between 0 and 10 seconds, equal to the score squared divided by 10. A reference table for display times is available for reference at the end of this manual.

| h [n] | history | Displays the last n commands in the terminal (command only). If n is not specified, it is assumed to be 10. |
